EUGENIE BOUCHARD has been chilling out on the beach after skipping Wimbledon to focus on the US hard court season.
Bouchard, 28, stunned followers in a red bikini as she celebrated Canada Day.
The former SW19 finalist hasn’t played since March 2021 after suffering with a nasty shoulder injury.
She had been due to finally make her return at the All England Club, but opted to pull out after the WTA’s decision to strip the event of ranking points.
While preparing for her delayed return to action, Bouchard has been enjoying some downtime on the beach.
The Canadian shared some pictures of herself sunning it up with her 2.3million followers this weekend.
She captioned the snaps: “Happy Canada Day 
”
Bouchard will now return to action in the US later in the summer.
She wrote to fans: “A quick update on my end, I have decided to withdraw from Wimbledon due to the WTA’s decision to not award ranking points at this year’s Championships.
“Due to my shoulder surgery, I get a limited number of protected ranking (PR) entries.
“As much as I love Wimbledon and skipping it makes me sad, using a PR entry at a tournament with no ranking points doesn’t make sense.
“I must choose wisely and use my PR entries at tournaments that will help me get back to where I want to be.
“I am continuing my training/rehab and plan on returning to competition later this summer.
“I will now use my two grand slam PR entries for the US Open and the Australian Open.
“Thank you for all the amazing messages of support. I love you guys and can’t wait to see everyone again soon.”
